Eileen Quiring O'Brien, candidate for Clark County Auditor, has officially submitted a signed formal ethics complaint to the Clark County Ethics Review Commission against sitting Auditor Greg Kimsey.

The filing calls for an immediate investigation into potential violations of state law, the county charter, and local ethics policies surrounding legal threats, undisclosed financial benefits, and election interference.

The complaint alleges violations under multiple governing provisions, RCW forty-two point twenty-three point zero seven zero point two, and Clark County Charter Section five point seven, prohibiting municipal officers from accepting outside gifts, discounted services, or compensation linked to their official duties.

As general election ballots are set to arrive in mailboxes across Clark County, the Eileen Quiring O'Brien campaign has released a comprehensive report detailing systemic voter roll maintenance failures and serious ethical conflicts involving incumbent County Auditor Greg Kimsey.

The disclosures center on Merhawi Yohannes Mahari, an Eritrean national with a history of local arrests for burglary, assault, and theft, who was actively registered on Clark County voter rolls and receiving mail-in ballots despite an ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer.

"Clark County taxpayers expect their chief election official to maintain clean voter rolls and enforce administrative standards," said Eileen Quiring O'Brien.

Instead, when presented with court and jail records showing an ineligible non-citizen on active voter lists, Auditor Greg Kimsey demanded that private citizens take on personal legal liability and file formal challenges rather than taking administrative action himself.
